Dalton Knecht succumbs to the over-rated chants while at the stripe!  UT going down, big time!

All blowouts in the late slate.

FAU/Wichita state  12:00 Espn2

[Alford Bailey]

UK looked like a FF team a month ago now they have lost three straight at home for the first time since the seventies. Now fans are questioning if they make the tournament. Even with all that talent things can escalate quickly LOL!

Buie will be making circus shots next weekend.

[Hovadipo]

Awesome game in Wichita. They always have a great crowd.

Love Dusty May, but that was a major bailout call.  Block was clean. Instead FAUmakes two free throws.

FAU up 1, 32 seconds left, Wichita ball.

Ball (maybe) don’t lie. Wichita St has a chance. 

That was a horrible call.

A long, really long, preview of portal season and possible team focuses. The IU thoughts are unsurprising, but it is nice to get a sense where other schools may be.

Interesting quote from Moser on roster balancing in the modern world:

“Can you sign four or five freshmen nowadays in the Big 12? If they don’t play, it’s so easy to transfer,” Porter Moser told 247Sports. “That’s a hard dynamic.”
